YOUTH PROGRAMMING 2023

The City of Providence’s Department of Sustainability notified interested organizations of the availability of funds to support youth programs that advance the goals and objectives of Providence’s Climate Justice Plan. Stay tuned to learn what organizations have received the award!

Youth have played a key role in advocating for our environment, understanding that the actions taken today will impact the trajectory of their lives. The RFP is aimed at supporting organizations to provide opportunities for young climate justice advocates to engage with new and existing programs that offer solutions to a number of environmental and social issues affecting the residents of Providence. It is important that these programs center equity, reparative justice, frontline communities and the City’s most vulnerable populations and contribute to our ongoing efforts towards becoming a healthier, low-carbon, and just city.
